I revived this book from Netgalley for an honest review.
Going to be honest the title drew me to this book straight away, plus the front cover gave me all the wintery vibes I love.
I didn’t know what I was getting in for with this book but I very quickly fell in love. The story is really gripping and transports you completely into the setting and landscapes featured in the book. I don’t think I wanted to put it down! The characters are realistic and relatable with the story and characters constantly developing.
The book focus on Naya who has just moved to the Artic due to her boyfriend, Ryan, doing some work studying Polar Bears. But despite the beauty that the setting holds, it’s winter and dark 24/7 with blizzards and bitterly cold weather. With her boyfriend working all the time she begins to struggle and starts to feel lost.
The story does cover some really heavy topics, but it does so well. I loved the cooking element and how the writer describes the food, the main character creates, with such passion and creativity. The fusion and stark contrast between India and the Artic are such an asset to the story and vital in the development of our main character. The characters are so loveable… apart from one but you will know who I mean you read it…
I enjoyed this ever so much, I am almost sad that it’s over as I was completely transported into the story line and environments!
Such a fantastic story!
